John 12:50 “I know that his command leads to eternal life.. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.” Following the words of our Teacher, you and I and anyone else who presents God’s teachings as God truly is, must study and accurately present as God presents Himself. For anyone to interject their opinion is being detrimental to both themselves and to their followers and listeners. Keep God’s Word pure. Study His entire Word. Represent His Truth. Earthly and eternal life is at stake.

John 12:46 “I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” You and I have the privilege of knowing, believing and having a tight relationship with the Savior of the world. That relationship not only lights our world on this earth but also guarantees an eternal life of joy as we walk with our Heavenly Father. It is also your and my responsibility to teach others of this magnificent Light.

John 12:43 “for they loved human praise more than praise from God.” A common mistake our human nature makes is to enjoy recognition, praise and anything close to celebrity status. It is good to receive encouragement, yet the words of praise we should all live for is to hear our Heavenly Father say to each of us — Well done, you good and faithful servant.

John 12:38a & 39b “This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet…as Isaiah says elsewhere…” Isaiah lived about 700 years prior to Jesus. Isaiah, a prophet, whose prophecies had to be inspired by God, predicted with exactness what would happpen in Jesus’ future. Can you predict what will happen in 2723? Noone can. Another proof God’s Word is true. When Jesus says He is preparing a place for you and me—believe it and look forward to your future home. A friend of mine, John, has like shingles on his face. This is contagious and painful. Please pray for God to heal him. Thank you. Have a great weekend.

John 12:37 “Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him.” Many people live with the unfortunate flaw–seeing is believing, but the people in Jesus’ time had an additional flaw–they saw and still did not believe. You and I live with the fortunate gift called faith. Not ignorant belief, but childlike faith. God’s infallible Word is more than enough. What an honor it is for each of us to be His adopted and loved child.
